SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:10

sino de buenas obras, como conviene a mujeres que profesan piedad.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Timothy 2:10

Verse 10. But (which becometh, &c.] That is: Good works are the only ornaments with which women professing Christianity should
seek to be adorned. The Jewish matrons were accustomed to cry to the bride: "There is no need of paint, no need of antimony, no need of braided hair; she herself is most beautiful." The eastern women use a preparation of antimony, which they apply both to the eyes and eyelids, and by which the eye itself acquires a wonderful lustre.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 10. But (which becometh women professing
god likeness) , etc.] By which is meant not any particular grace, was it, the fear of God might be designed, and so the Syriac version renders it; nor the whole of internal religion only; nor the form of godliness, or the whole scheme of Gospel truth, which is according to godliness; nor only outward holiness of life and conversation; but the whole of all this, all religion, internal and external, the whole of godliness, both in a doctrinal and in a practical way. All this, these women the apostle gives directions unto, had made a profession of, and had been baptized upon it, and received members of churches; and as yet held their profession: and such persons, it best became them not so much to adorn themselves with any outward adornings, as with good works ; such as are mentioned in ( 1 Thessalonians 5:10 Peter 3:3-5) Good works are like good clothes, to which the apostle alludes; they do not make persons men and women, but they adorn them as such; so good works, they do not make men and women Christians, or believers, but they adorn them as such; they are ornaments to their persons, and to their profession, and to the Gospel they profess. (see Titus 2:10).

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 8-15 - Under the
gospel, prayer is not to be confined to any one particula house of prayer, but men must pray every where. We must pray in ou closets, pray in our families, pray at our meals, pray when we are of journeys, and pray in the solemn assemblies, whether more public of private. We must pray in charity; without wrath, or malice, or anger a any person. We must pray in faith, without doubting, and withou disputing. Women who profess the Christian religion, must be modest i apparel, not affecting gaudiness, gaiety, or costliness. Good works ar the best ornament; these are, in the sight of God, of great price Modesty and neatness are more to be consulted in garments than eleganc and fashion. And it would be well if the professors of seriou godliness were wholly free from vanity in dress. They should spend mor time and money in relieving the sick and distressed, than in decoratin themselves and their children. To do this in a manner unsuitable to their rank in life, and their profession of godliness, is sinful. Thes are not trifles, but Divine commands. The best ornaments for professor of godliness, are good works. According to St. Paul, women are no allowed to be public teachers in the church; for teaching is an offic of authority. But good women may and ought to teach their children a home the principles of true religion. Also, women must not thin themselves excused from learning what is necessary to salvation, thoug they must not usurp authority. As woman was last in the creation, whic is one reason for her subjection, so she was first in the transgression. But there is a word of comfort; that those who continu in sobriety, shall be saved in child-bearing, or with child-bearing, by the Messiah, who was born of a woman. And the especial sorrow to whic the female sex is subject, should cause men to exercise their authorit with much gentleness, tenderness, and affection __________________________________________________________________

Vincent's NT Word Studies

10. Professing (epaggellomenaiv). In the sense of professing only in the Pastorals. In
Tit. i. 2, and everywhere else in N.T. it means promise. See Acts vii. 5; Rom. iv. 21; Gal. iii. 19, etc.

Godliness (qeosebeian). N.T.o . Several times in LXX. The adjective qeosebhv worshipping God, John ix. 31. It is = eujsebeia. See ver. 2. Const. by good works with professing godliness: omit the parenthesis which - godliness; take which (o) as = with that which (en toutw o) and construe it with adorn. The whole will then read: "That women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefastness and sobriety; not with braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array, but (adorn themselves) with that which becometh women professing godliness through good works." 100


Robertson's NT Word Studies

2:10 {Becometh} (prepei). Old word for seemly. Paul wishes women to wear "becoming" clothes, but qeosebeian (godliness, from qeosebes, #Joh 9:31, qeos, sebomai, worship) is part of the "style" desired. Only here in N.T. Good dress and good works combined.
